This is really about us and our company TC Allen Company on Marigold Plantation.
About Us:
We started with an old tobacco field on an subdivided old plantation that had gone to weeds and tangled woods. That was thirty years ago. Marigold Plantation is now rolling lawns, fruit trees, grape vines, raised garden beds, a farm house,and many out buildings. We have chickens,ducks, and guinea hens that free range around the fourteen acres that make up our tiny farm. We raised three wonderful children here and now have two beautiful grand children.
About the Marigold Plantation name. Marigold is the first name my husband knew me by ( It was my secret code name to protect my true identity; it is a long story that I won't go into here) and plantation was for the Christmas tree plantation we had once planned. After planting over one thousand Christmas trees, we decided not to sell the trees. The thought of the government taking half our profit in taxes was something; we couldn’t kill our trees for. We did give hundreds of trees away to local charities.
Our farm has turned into a wonderful place to be creative in. So we started TC Allen Company to sell my art and my husband’s writing.
